A number of years and since 2012 it seems life has been nothing but complaints with work without permits so i can totally understand where shes coming from. Im here now to try to resolve this and make it whole for my client. The retaining walls, they were engineered and by having them and mr. White head will speak more on that part. Hes an engineer and a civil engineer. And so by having those retaining walls, actually what they do is they will reduce erosion and make the soil more stable so to reduce them down just doesnt seem the way to do this. Secondly, to on the wed like to take the deck apart, dismantle the deck and level the soil out to a place where we will have a grade of hopefully less than 5 percent as the planning code says that to make it a usable area, you need to have less than 5 percent slope so wed like to achieve that. And then reinstall the deck, but not bring it back the way it was before, but 2 feet back from the back of her property and also the neighbor to the sou ....

Something just amiss about this whole permit that had been taken out to talk about this existing deck and existing conditions and miss moon had shown been pretty adamant that there was no existing deck so we opened a new complaint ourselves etch though the permit was suspended and on the 18th of february, 2014, after this permits been suspended and i dont think this notice of violation was in the brief, but i go ahead and read it out anyway. It appears information used to obtain the permit for the yard was incorrect. The grade was raised before in stalglation of the deck and retaining wall is not in the same height or location. Deck was not existing, this permit is currently under suspension by the board of appeals pending the outcome of a hearing. No work may take place until this matter has been resolved. We dont normally do this, but i think it was clear that someone had come into the Building Department after we noticed t ....

A different permit maybe they could get what they want in the rear yard so thats my opinion anyway. So anything less than 30 inches does not require a permit . Nope, not for a deck. From the lowest point, you know, so so for, like, a terrace yard. Yeah. The exposed portion youd have to use the high point from 30 inches. Okay. I believe planning has some other issues with that code as well. People use it and use it all the time. Okay. Last question. Ive heard that the you guys have the ability to go back and show historic photos of the property . Building department . Yeah. Sometimes we use google earth. We didnt do it in this case. I think in this case its pretty clear you can see that. I dont know about the property being in fore chloric sure. Closure. The people doing the work came into me recently so i wasnt aware the property had changed ownership since we changed notice of violation. There is other permits for the main house that remodelling kitchen, doing other interior work that ....

The people doing the work came into me recently so i wasnt aware the property had changed ownership since we changed notice of violation. There is other permits for the main house that remodelling kitchen, doing other interior work that seems to be going okay and i believe thats almost completed. My biggest fear as well was when i heard the building was for sale and i didnt wantsome new bier y buyer to be buying this with the problem. I dont think its fair when you have a property for sale with this hanging over it so thats still in contract be pending this. ....
